Civility in Politics

You want civility? Forget it. Some ideas rightly deserve ridicule. There is not a single politically minded person of any ideology that is going to act civil in the face of outrageous assaults on their sensibilities. Mud and a strong throwing arm are time honored political tools, you want civility? You first.

You dont see republicans calling democrats demons do you? I have yet to hear one uncivil word come out of a republicans mouth in years. Can you post a video of one?

You haven't been listening, anyone accuse Obama of being a Socialist/Nazi/Marxist lately?

Criticizing someone's policies is not "uncivil". Characterizing them on the political spectrum, particularly when you have supporting evidence, is not "uncivil". But can you tell me where "demons" appears on the American political spectrum?
 
Than virtue is not a part of your libertarian ethical structure: so noted.

That is an odd conclusion to draw.

Is it virtuous if I am civil in my advocation for racial inequality and lacking virtue if I am not civil in advocating for racism?

I'm not sure of the purpose of your statement to be honest.

:lol:

Ah..the core argument is fleshed out.

Yes, we are aware that mike is confuzd at best.
 
I'm eagerly awaiting your sources.

Some Initial Reaction to Passage of HCR Bill (TWO UPDATES) | The Moderate Voice

The front door was smashed out at Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ congressional office last night.

At 2:40 a.m., just a few hours after staff left the building after the late-night vote, the alarm system went off, said spokesman C.J. Karamargin. The panel to the front door and the glass panel alongside it were smashed out. The perpetrator likely had to hop the gated fence to get access to the door, since it’s not viewable from the parking lot.

Karamargin said it was unclear if the glass had been shot out with a kind of pellet gun, if it had been kicked or smashed with an object. The door has been covered with plywood.
[...]
While the calls into the office in the past week were “more nasty and rude” and laced with profanity than the office had ever received before, Karamargin said, they did not reach the level of threat that prompted any police involvement.

Still waiting on proof that it was someone on the right. Again, could have been someone on the left framing the right, just like the bomb at the occupy protest.

If it was her office here in Tucson, it could just have been vandals. We have an inordinately high property-crime rate here.
 
You haven't been listening, anyone accuse Obama of being a Socialist/Nazi/Marxist lately?

Of course they have, but by his legislation and actions this has been been proven. However, Boehner and Cantor have done nothing to be called demons. And I also remember the left wing politician who said the tea party want to see blacks hanging from trees, did the tea party do anything to give credit to that remark? No they didn't.

It's a lack of civility, by your example, to compare someone to something else that is guaranteed to elicit a negative emotional reaction. Can't have it both ways.

Amazingly enough, "civility" does not translate to "Oh, he's really wonderful". I realize that you leftists would desperately love to force out any and all criticism from the political arena and label anyone who DARES to disagree with you as bad and "uncivil", but it's not true.

There is nothing uncivil about criticizing someone's policies, or categorizing them on the political spectrum with evidence. Deal with it.
 

The very first line of your own frigging link, fool:

Authorities are trying to find out who threw bricks through windows and doors at two Democratic Party offices in western New York before Sunday's health care vote.

As in, they have no idea WHO did it. So if you have proof it was some Republican somewhere, you need to get your ignorant, hyperpartisan ass off this message board and get it on the phone to the cops to give a statement. Otherwise, you need to stop wasting everyone's time with your baseless accusations and assumptions. Frankly, my inclination is that you should just stop wasting everyone's time with your existence, but that's just me.

And no, I'm not civil. Big deal.

really, liar?

try doing a search for the word "DemonRats" or "DemocRATS" on this board alone.

grow up.

Awwww, wuzzoo wittle feelings hurt by the mean old political message board? Wuzzoo unable to separate the Internet from real life? Duzzoo need a Prozac because you were flamed?

Seriously, which of the posters on this board is a sitting member of Congress, like Maxine Waters is? Can you even SPELL "perspective", much less show any?

Grow up and get some brain cells, troll.
 
I'm done with you, fuckstick.

When you wrestle with a pig, you just get dirty and the pig likes it.

BTW, thanks for providing a perfect example of what libturds mean when they whine about "civility in politics."

So, you admit YOU wrote the title....which means you repeated the lie. We have established it was a lie. So bripat=liar.

Or, in your world, does one get a pass for being an idiot, repeating a lie, and then suffers no consequences for it? If so, I guess that makes you a typical free-ride liberal.

Dude, you just keep confirming what we already know:

Bripat=liar. It has been proven over and over and over.

Sorry. You lied. Be a man and own it. We both know that won't happen. You're not much of a man, it seems.

You've used words like "shit stain" and "fuck stick", not me. It's predictable....you lie, you're called on the lie, and all you can do at that point is either capitulate, admit you lied, or become belligerent.

Gee...to everyone's shock, you became belligerent which brings us back to the OP.

Just to put your lie into context:

On the conspiracy message boards here, there are about 200 threads listing all of the Bush II officials who "knew" that 9/11 was going to happen in some way shape or form. These twoofers have "evidence" in blogs, You Tube videos, and even their own posts....just like you.

So according to you, all of these twoofers have total immunity because they had an internet link! Right?

That would give anyone license to source all of the Bush cocaine books and blogs. They have no responsibility for checking it out...verifying the sources, etc...

Isn't that what you wingnuts keep on preaching...personal responsibility?

Well, isn't it?

Huh?

You should run. You lost the argument 3 days ago. And you know it which is why you've become nothing but profane.

Sorry.

When a libturd uses the term incivility" he means any criticism of a liberal. Of course, even the most vicious attacks on conservatives are perfectly "civil" because liberals are just stating the facts.

It is a liberal tactic to sucker punch you, then scream Rodney King, Rodney King
 
Did the author put the title to YOUR post in for you, boy?

Didn't think so.

Wrong again, shit stain. I copied his title verbatim. You would know that if you had simply followed the link, but you're too fucking lazy.

As always, Bripat=liar. Proven over and over and over and over and over and over....just digging the hole deeper for yourself.

You've only proven that you're a jackass and a fool to boot.

Hey, I got a link to a book review so obviously I have no responsibility for it's truthfulness or accuracy.

Book: Bush was arrested for cocaine in 1972 - George W. Bush - Salon.com

Isn't this the same standard you used? Whatever we find on the Internet can be repeated over and over without consequence to the one repeating it?

Personal responsibility used to be what you guys stood for.

What happened?

Oh yeah, it's a double standard you created for yourself: Makes the cartoon appropriate:

Lefties and righties who believe that civility means praising the other side do not know the meaning of civility or they are talking out of the sides of their moufs.
 
appologising when you obviously have made a mistake is part of civility dont you think?
 
Then BM has some applogising to me to do.

On that level you owe the board several thousand apologies. And I own you none. What you did was beyond the pale evil. And I think you owe the board an apology for that as well. That was a level of disgusting that would even revolt Mani
